I know little about this so somebody help me out. It sounds like from the story that these Christians were living fairly safely and peacefully in Iraq until 2003 (heck, I didn’t even know there were as many as 800,000 Christians in Iraq). But since 2003, it’s been open season on them. Is that really right and if so, why?

Because our "leaders" (leaders I voted for), sold out Christiantity, when the following was written into the new Iraqi Constitution AT THE VERY TOP: "No law that contradicts.. Islam may be established"

The dunder-headed stupidity of people like Condi Rice is very much to blame.

in Iraq, it was the Pax Saddam; he brokered no trouble from anyone in his country so any descent or inter-community violence was quickly quashed. After he was deposed, the Christians became easy targets for Islamic (peace and Love)anti-Christian violence. Since specifically protecting the small and weak Christian communities by us would be viewed as evidence of a crusade rather than a secular war of liberation by both the common Muslim and our Arab masters, our forces have not spent a whole lot of time and effort to protect them as they would any other obvious target of value.
